Solution
The correct option is C Leg Skeletal muscles are closely associated with the skeletal components of the body like limbs. They have alternate light and dark bands and hence, are called striated muscles. As their activities are under the voluntary control of the nervous system, they are also known as voluntary muscles. They are primarily involved in locomotory actions and changes of body postures. They are seen in the legs but are absent in the lungs, trachea, and gall bladder. Smooth muscles are found in internal organs.
